We were especially honored to host Jaylin Brown, a 15 year old boy from Binghamton, New York, at the New Year’s ‘Ohana Festival. Introduced to us by Make-A-Wish Hawai‘i, Jaylin’s wish was to visit to Japan. Unable to make a long international trip, Make-A-Wish decided to send him to Hawai‘i. We were honored to learn that he wanted to spend the day with us to experience Japanese crafts, cultural traditions and food! The Board of Directors and staff rolled out the red carpet. Jaylin participated in the Shinto¯ blessing, played taiko, pounded mochi, watched kendo¯ , and was treated to a special Japanese dinner in the tatami room at Tsukuneya that evening. Overwhelmed by JCCH’s aloha spirit, Jaylin hopes to return to Hawai‘i one day. Spending the day with Jaylin and his family was a touching reminder of how fortunate we are to live and work in Hawai‘i, how fortunate we are to be part of the JCCH ‘ohana and community, and the importance of our work to celebrate and share our rich Japanese heritage and culture. Jaylin’s visit in January was followed by an invitation to the White House in February! Jane Kurahara and I had the honor of representing JCCH to meet President Obama and witness the signing of the proclamation recognizing the Honouliuli Internment Camp as a new national monument! JCCH SOGETSU should take pride in leading the effort to preserve and protect Honouliuli. It’s inspiring to know Ikebana by that the work we do touches the lives of people and is making a difference in our state and nation.

It has been a great start to the year. 2015 started with a blast at the New Year’s ‘Ohana Festival. Over 20,000 attendees enjoyed the variety of crafts, food booths, entertainment, and games for the kids. Our Mo¯‘ili‘ili community was filled with energy. Many thanks to Rattana Soubandith for her leadership in chairing this year’s event as well as the JCCH staff, Kenjin Kai, and hundreds of volunteers who helped to make the day a wonderful success. I would like to include a shameless plug for the bake sale booth that was staffed by the JCCH Board of Directors that set record sales this year by selling out all of the tasty home-made goodies. We are excited about upcoming events our members can enjoy to share and celebrate our heritage including our annual Sharing the Spirit of Aloha Gala on July 25 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We will be celebrating our very deserving honorees, all who have made significant contributions to our island communities as well as on the national and international stages.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:19 09 August 2016 Focus: Music in Contemporary Japan Focus: Music in Contemporary Japan explores a diversity of musics performed in Japan today, ranging from folk song to classical music, the songs of geisha to the screaming of underground rock, with a specific look at the increasingly popular world of taiko (ensemble drumming). Discussion of contemporary musical prac- tice is situated within broader frames of musical and sociopolitical history, processes of globalization and cosmopolitanism, and the continued search for Japanese identity through artistic expression. It explores how the Japanese have long negotiated cultural identity through musical practice in three parts: • Part I, “Japanese Music and Culture,” provides an overview of the key characteristics of Japanese culture that inform musical performance, such as the attitude towards the natural environment, changes in ruling powers, dominant religious forms, and historical processes of cultural exchange. • Part II, “Sounding Japan,” describes the elements that distinguish traditional Japanese music and then explores how music has changed in the modern era under the influence of Western music and ideology. • Part III, “Focusing In: Identity, Meaning and Japanese Drumming in Kyoto,” is based on fieldwork with musicians and explores the position of Japanese drumming within Kyoto. It focuses on four case studies that paint a vivid picture of each respective site, the music that is practiced, and the pedagogy and creative processes of each group. The accompanying CD includes examples of Japanese music that illustrate specific elements and key genres introduced in the text. A companion website includes additional audio-visual sources discussed in detail in the text.
